Head-coach provides injury updates on the Bees' Spanish trio.

Luisma Vills is looking good, we're hoping his right calf eases over the next week which means he could be in contention for the week after. Due to the time he had been out he needs a week of training. I know he's a good player and I want him back as soon as possible.

Casabella twisted his ankle and I'm hoping he will be joining in training with us on Monday however I am aware he has been out for a long time and we need to carefully monitor his return to the first team.

Dani Lopez is a little bit more complex, he is a good goal scorer but he's touch and go whether we will have him back before the end of the season, however long it may be. He has been for a scan and we are now waiting for a consultants view on how his injury needs to be treated. It is a very frustrating time for him and of course for us.

So, hopefully by Monday we will now have all our players apart from one training with the first team squad.
